since i'll start fulltime soon, idk if i should like buy a bra and stuff it or walk around flatchested.
what/would did/you do?
You should start wearing a bra, as they can take quite a bit of getting used to.
Also, proper silicon-filled breastforms feel really nice, add to the feeling of girl-ness and help you get used to the weight and feel. Much better than filling your bra with socks
Sorry if this takes us offtopic... but I was wondering something which is somewhat related?
I'm still in-the-closet? :angel: Even though I'm pre-everything nature seem to have given me already some breasts? Which was fine when I was fat but now I'm loosing weight they start to kind of jiggle while I walk? It's getting very uncomfortable? :( Are there bras that support but are not so visible? So no obvious tell tail lines and such?
I might as well get used to wearing them anyway?

I bought a pair of breast forms from TrueKare (http://www.truekare.com/) and bras to fit them. After a while, though, the adhesive did start to wear out. I then used Hollister Medical Adhesive (through Amazon.com) to hold them in place.
The adhesive eventually started giving me a rash, so I've sewn pockets into my bras to hold the forms in place.

A sports bra might work well for you. They're designed to prevent jiggling.
When i first went full time, i got one of those bra's which have those built in air filled padding, you can buy some which can give the impression that you have B cups, but you wont have any cleavage.
If you want cleavage, then you might want to invest in one of those super realistic silicone breasts :)
Search pals breast forms. (people sell them on fleebay) Very comfortable and unlike most they aren't wrapped in a nasty feeling plastic bag that you sweat like crazy under. Plus they are very reasonably priced. I still use some smaller of these given I don't have real breasts the size I would like to fit my frame. I'm somewhere between a 34AA and a 34A right now and 34B is where I want to end up. I wouldn't recommend HUGE boobs as they clearly will draw attention :P But super flat chested looks just as odd IMHO.
The hardest part for me was the same thing genetic women go through, finding a bra that fits, looks good and is comfortable.
*shrug* I never saw the point personally at least until it started to become vulgar to not use one.

Before HRT I used to put those fairly expensive silicon breast forms in a bra, they were absolutely awful and looked like chicken fillets. If it was a hot day I they would sweat like crazy! I hated them and in the end stuffed cotton wool down my bra instead.
I loved the silicone breast forms (back when I needed them) they came with a soft cloth cover so I didn't have major sweating issues. And they would fill out my blouses and sweaters wonderfully. When I finally grew my own breasts I sold them to someone else.
The original http://www.nubra.com/NuBra.htm (http://www.nubra.com/NuBra.htm) is the way to go, just pop them into a regular bra and watch out girlfriend

I find the notion of sticking artificial boobs under my clothes utterly repellent. It would be proof that I was a fake. I know this is all in my head and probably very silly, but it is highly important that I feel like a real woman and not an imitator. I cannot explain it very well but I would far, far rather have genuine AAs than a false C cup.

Beverley, that's exactly how I felt about them.

You realize most of those products were made for "real women"? Wigs sure aren't manufactured for the TG community either. I see TG women who have absolutely HORRIBLE hair yet refuse to wear a wig. I bet any "real women" who had hair that bad would wear one.
We use a LOT of products to improve our appearance as do "real women". My sister loves these same pals forms I used after I showed them to her. She sure isn't proud of her natural AA boobs :P
BTW these are what I've used, cheap and very comfortable. http://www.supergelproducts.com/palspush-upswithnipples-1.aspx (http://www.supergelproducts.com/palspush-upswithnipples-1.aspx)
I guess it depends on how large your girls are now. Like I started out with A cups because of how XY individuals in my family carry their weight. I bought some gel inserts, wore a padded bra, and voila - boobage! If you ain't got nothing to work with, then you're better off with forms.

I've never bothered with anything.. And I seem to pass with the fairly minimal growth I've had so far from HRT.. I can understand why some go for forms, they just aren't my thing..

Um???
Not really, you just, uh, put it on, and yeah.....it's a bra......

I never said my feelings made any sense Stephe.
I understand the TG women who refuse to wear a wig. My own hair was short and very thin on top with a receding hairline and I have spent nearly 18 months getting it back in shape so I can ditch the wig. It is my one concession and I hate it. I could not stand the wig and something else like breast forms at the same time.
Beverley
I've always had long hair, so I've never worn a wig so I can't really make comment on wigs, but I can understand where Beverley is coming from.

I also agree with Kelly, not my thing either and I have small breasts too.

I think the OP was talking about pre hrt/zero breasts. I think being totally flat chested (like I was, thin with zero chest) and trying to pass is too much like wearing a sign on your back. YMMV, if you have some girls already, that's a different story.

Lol, there's not too much difference with my size now compared to pre HRT. But before I ever took HRT I hated those breast forms and didn't use them more that a couple of times and I felt far more uncomfortable with them than without them.

Even when I was flat as a surfboard I didn't bother with anything..
thanks for all the replies!
does someone know a good cheap tutorial how i can make myself some fake breasts?
this looks pretty good, but i dont know if its safe : How to Make fake silicone Boobs! (best) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZkdsJtbh6w#)
if you know a good tutorial please post it, i dont have enough money to buy smth from a store and let it ship etc. :/
Well, I don't think ziplock bags of water will work for you for very long. Those things are awfully good at springing leaks. I actually saw a demo on TV once where a lady filled plastic bags with smooth peanut butter for use as breastforms. She said gave a good weight and consistency. Still, I can't say as I would try it.
Good luck and let us know what you come up with.
